Transfer Student Options

Designed For Transfer Students

Students with credit from another accredited institution can easily transfer to Northern Arizona University. In fact, all of the bachelor's programs available through NAU's Extended Campuses are designed to be transfer programs. Learn more about NAU's accredited bachelor's degree programs and then connect with Academic advisors to evaluate your transfer credits and help you determine the best route to earning your degree.

If you are attending or have credits from an Arizona community college, know that NAU partners with nearly all colleges in the state to make transferring as simple and seamless as possible.

Some NAU bachelor’s degree programs also accept up to 90 hours of transfer credits. To see how your Arizona community college courses transfer to NAU, check out AZTransfer's Course Equivalency Guide.

2NAU: A Joint-Admission Option For Arizona Community College Students

The 2NAU joint-admission program makes your transition from
an Arizona community college to NAU seamless. 2NAU allows you to be admitted to
NAU while you earn your associate degree. You are eligible for 2NAU if you are currently
in your first or second semester at your Arizona community college and are
committed to completing your bachelor’s degree.

and enjoy a number of benefits, including:

Focused Advising
– Receive success coaching from both NAU and your community college so that you
stay on track.

Lower Costs – Continue
to pay your community college tuition rate while taking coursework at your
Arizona community college. When you are ready to take courses towards your NAU
bachelor’s degree, enjoy the most affordable public university tuition rate in
the state.

classes you want, when you want them.

2NAU Program Requirements

When you apply to the 2NAU program, you are admitted to NAU as a non-degree seeking student until you complete your general admission requirements and transition to NAU from your Arizona community college. This allows you to receive NAU advising and 2NAU resources while completing your associate degree at your community college.
